High-speed NaMo Bharat to boost connectivity

NaMo Bharat, India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System, has a design speed of 180 kmph and aims to provide fast, high-frequency connectivity between Delhi and Meerut. Meerut Metro, operating on the same infrastructure, will be India’s fastest metro system with a top operational speed of around 120 kmph, covering the full stretch in about 30 minutes.

The inauguration is part of the Centre’s broader push to expand rapid rail connectivity, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable urban mobility, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
